Dialkyl fumarates useful for the preparation Example 1 of the present adducts are esters in which the alcohol portions of the molecule are derived from A mlXturB 0f r-9 mole) ethyl b oy one alcohol, i. e., the diethyl, dimethyl, di-isoacetate and 207 g.

The heating 60 parts of polyvinyl chloride and 40 parts by temperature may be from 200 C. to 300 C., deweight of the adduct of Example 1 were mixed pending upon the nature of the individual reacton a rolling mill to a homogenous blend. During ants; it should not exceedatemperature at which to the milling there was observed substantially no fumes and discoloration. A molded sheet of the mixture was clear transparent and substantially colorless. Testing of the molded sheet by the Clash-Berg method gave a low temperature flexibility value of 4 C. Tests on the volatility characteristics of the plasticized composition employing the method described by the American Society for Testing Materials under the designation D-74444T gave a volatility value of 2.7 per cent. When subjected to a heat of 225 F. for a period of 30 minutes the clarity and color of the molded product were substantially unchanged.
While the above example shows only compositions in which the ratio of plasticizer to polymer content is 40:60, this ratio being employed in order to get comparable efficiencies, the content of adduct to polyvinyl chloride may be widely varied, depending upon the properties d sired in the final product. For many purposes a plasticizer content of, say, from only 10 per cent to 20 per cent is preferred. The present adducts are compatible with polyvinyl chloride over wide ranges of concentrations, up to 50 per cent of esters based on the total Weight of the plasticized composition yielding desirable products.
Although the invention has been described particularly with reference to the use of the present adducts as plasticizers for polyvinyl chloride,
they are advantageously employed also as plasticizers for copolymers of vinyl chloride, for example, the copolymers of vinyl chloride with vinyl acetate, vinylidene chloride, etc. Preferably, such copolymers have a high vinyl chloride content, i. e., a vinyl chloride content of at least 70 per cent by weight of vinyl chloride and up to 30 per cent by weight of the copolymerizable monomer.
The plasticized polyvinyl halide compositions of the present invention have good thermal stability; however, for many purposes it may be advantageous to use known stabilizers in the plasticized compositions. Inasmuch as the present adducts are substantially unreactive with the commercially available heat and light stabilizers which are commonly employed with polyvinyl chloride or copolymers thereof, the presence of such materials in the plasticized materials does not impair the valuable properties of the present esters. general utility in softening vinyl chloride polymers. They may be used as the only plasticizing component in a compounded vinyl chloride polymer or they may be used in conjunction with other plasticizers.
